How naive were we before Mean Girls? We didn't know "fetch" (or to not try to make it happen — duly noted, Regina) and were often caught wearing colors other than pink on Wednesday. But thankfully, we've now memorized every line of the movie — and we all know the style lessons it taught us like the back of our hand.

But let's be honest: most of the tips and tricks we learned — from how to compliment a best friend's outfit to starting new trends — we learned from Regina George. So on the 11th anniversary of the movie that taught us about Glen Coco [1], we're brushing up on Regina's most memorable fashion moments and quite a few others. Scroll down to study up.

5. The gym is totally worthy of a fashion moment.

6. You can make any injury a fashion statement.

7. Always have a backup dress.

8. It can be fun to match outfits.

9. It's OK not to wear as many layers on Halloween [2].

11. But it's totally appropriate to scare the living daylight out of people too.
